Clarence Terrace

This row of terraced houses is named after William IV. It was constructed, by James Burton, to a design by Decimus Burton.^[3] It is composed of three sections, a centre and two wings, of the Corinthian order, connected by two colonnades of the Ilyssus Ionic order. The elevation is divided into three stories; namely, a rusticated entrance, which serves as a basement to the others, a Corinthian order embellishing the drawing room and chamber stories. There is also a well proportioned entablature.^[1]
